I see you made a revision to the arctic snow business unit. Could you please tell me what was added or changed so that I can just re-print those pages? :)

Sure thing! I realized a typo on the nonfiction feature poster for the title. I had left off an s on the word tells. Now it is fixed. :) Sorry for the inconvenience.

I am printing these right now and had a thought (since you are ALWAYS so helpful!!) ... is there any way you could make a cover to go with this? I'm thinking I will have my kids make a book using the practice pages included in this pack, plus their own examples that they create using polar animals for each feature. I would make one, but I thought since you have the cute fonts and clip art, it would look A LOT better if it came from you and matched everything else in the packet!! Just let me know ... thanks so much!!

No problem, Liz! I will probably have to wait to tackle that this weekend though. I am taking two classes this semester, and one of them is my capstone, so I am a little swamped during the week! :) I promise to make the additions as soon as I get the chance! I just got home, and I'm eating dinner at 8 pm. Yay! Hahahaha. I won't be home tomorrow night until almost 10:00 after class. So, long story short, I will do my best! Thanks for always being so supportive and upbeat!

This is the most perfect timing ever as I am starting a nonfiction unit with polar animals next week! Just a question ... with the posters and practice pages (which are SUCH a great idea!!), is there a student practice page for each text feature? Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing back from you!!

For each poster, I created a black and white version for student use. It looks exactly the same, but instead of including the definitions, I made lines for the students to write in the definitions themselves. Other than that, I like to have my students create nonfiction feature books from blank white paper using examples from books. This is more of a stepping stone for that. I hope that makes sense and answers your question. If you feel like it's missing something, let me know, and I will see what I can do. :)
